Dozens of single men seeking marriages marched through the Turkish village of Uzumlu, Wednesday, to call on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for help after women in their village were refusing their marriage proposals.
Protesters held banners, one of which pleaded to Erdogan for help, while marching through the village and urging women to accept them as husbands, after the village had seen no marriages for the last nine years, with the population falling from 400 to 233.
According to the mayor of the village, Mustafa Bashbilan, there were 25 single men, aged between 25 and 45, seeking to get hitched in the village. The women have chosen to leave the village and move to cities like Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya, while the men remain in Uzumlu to farm land, which has been in their families possession for centuries.
